I can see why it's a pain, it's not a privilege for you to be on jury duty, it's a privilege for the person being tried to have you there to provide an unbiased view for a verdict.
I would say it's your civic duty as you would want some one to try you fairly. Some people always say "Oh, that could never be me. I would never be on trial because I wouldn't commit a crime," and yeah, that could be true, but the court's there to prove that you're innocent.
Personally I've been called on for jury duty once, but after filling out the application I was denied, which was a shame because I really wanted to do it.
